Nicole Kidman is reportedly the top choice for Disney's upcoming live-action movie Cruella. This movie will showcase Emma Stone as a young Cruella De Vil.

Disney studios have previously made another action movies such as The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast. Both of these films were extremely successful at the box office and this situation has encouraged the studio for trying another live-action adaptation

This project will not the be the first live-action adaptation of 101 Dalmatians. Back in 1996, Disney had re-imagined 101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close starring as the villainess Cruella De Vil.

The upcoming Cruella will be set around the 1970s when Cruella was a kindly Londoner known as Estella. For this reason, the movie will need a different character to serve as its villain.

According to THS, Kidman is the top choice to play Cruella's antagonist. There are no specific details about Kidman's possible character. Most probably, this antagonist will be playing an essential role in Estella's transformation into Cruella.

Oscar awarded Kidman might have been a great pick to play an older version of Cruella. Nevertheless, it would be exciting to see Kidman as the key villain is Estella's life.

Cruella is currently getting its script rewritten by Tony McNamara (who has previously worked with Emma Stone on The Favourite). This feature film will be directed by I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie.
